Siesta

Welcome to La Línea. Located in the province of Cádiz right against the border with Gibraltar. This used to be a small fisherman’s village but nowadays its well know for drug trafficking, at night small boats come ashore from Africa and make their way into Europe. The contrast with Gibraltar what is just across the boarder couldn't be bigger. A street/documentary series before this village fades away. An elderly man finding shelter from the sun, time for a little nap. One of my most beloved work.
